Crocodile Dundee Cast: Then and Now Crocodile Dundee Cast: Then and Now Pin it Share ‘Crocodile Dundee’ enjoys its 30th anniversary this year, but it’s a movie that’ll live forever: a stereotypical snapshot of Australia perfectly preserved in cinematic amber. The cast, however, do not have that luxury – what have the ageing stars of 'Crocodile Dundee’ been doing since the summer of '86? Linda Kozlowski – Sue Charlton The object of Mick Dundee’s affection was also the apple of Paul Hogan’s eye – the actor left his wife to start a relationship with Kozlowski and the pair were married in 1990. Non-'Crocodile Dundee’-related movie roles were not easy to come by, said Linda: “These straight-to-video schlocky films I was getting were giving me an ulcer because I was the only one on the set that cared about anything.

Between that and my biological clock, I decided to give it all away.” - The Tragic Life of Top Gun’s Kelly McGillis Hogan and Kozlowski had a son, Chance, but the pair divorced in 2003, with Kozlowski citing “irreconcilable differences” and the fact that they just “didn’t have anything in common”. She now spends her time travelling between her home in LA and her tourist business in Marrakesh. Paul Hogan – Mick 'Crocodile’ Dundee 'Crocodile Dundee’ changed Hogan’s future forever: he will always be associated with the knife-wielding bushman. A few dodgy career decisions – he turned down the lead role in 'Ghost’ – led to a poor sequel, 'Crocodile Dundee II’, and then an atrocious threequel in 2001’s 'Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles’.

Movie roles were few and far between after that, when his biggest challenge became wrangling with the Australian tax office: after several years of tax fraud allegations and encounters with the Australian Crime Commission (he was prevented from leaving the country when he flew to Sydney in 2010 for his mother’s funeral), the criminal investigation against him was dropped, but not before it was revealed he had money in offshore accounts. Now 76 and semi-retired, Hogan helps care for his 17-year-old son, Chance. A TV biopic about Hogan and 'Crocodile Dundee’ is set for broadcast on Aussie TV next year. John Meillon – Walter “Wally” Reilly The part of Wally, Mick Dundee’s business partner, was his most high profile role, but actor John Meillon already had a substantial body of work before he got into the croc-catching business. He’d appeared in radio plays since he was a boy, toured with Shakespeare companies and even received an OBE for services to theatre in the Queen’s honours list in 1979.

His last movie was 'Crocodile Dundee II’ in 1988 – the following year, Meillon succumbed to cirrhosis at his home in New South Wales. At least he never had to suffer the indignity of appearing in 'Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles’. He is survived by his wife Bunny and his two children. Read More Mark Blum – Richard Mason As Sue’s scumbag editor-slash-lover Richard, Blum was never going to find himself on the winning team, but the actor has enjoyed a lengthy career post-Dundee takedown. Single-serving characters in esteemed TV series paid the bills: Blum can count roles in 'Frasier’, 'The West Wing’ and 'The Sopranos on his CV’. The odd disparate movie role surfaced in the 21st century too, with the actor starring in films as diverse as journalism drama 'Shattered Glass’ and dance movie 'Step Up 3D’. Blum has since settled into a recurring role as Uncle Bob on the award-nominated Amazon music show 'Mozart In The Jungle’.

Steve Rackman – Donk You know him as Donk, the unmovable object that Mick Dundee manages to move with a kiss on the lips, but Steve Rackman went by another name in his other career as a professional wrestler – and something tells us “Crusher” could have taken on “Crocodile Dundee” no problem in a fair fight. Donk reprised his role in both sequels and felt like completing the Crocodile Dundee trilogy was a fitting way to retire from Hollywood. Where is Donk now? He runs a gym back home in Australia… and we bet he’s still great fun in pubs. David Gulpilil – Neville Bell Indigenous actor Gulpilil has the kind of acting chops that’d give Mick Dundee’s knife a run for its money – it’s fair to say that playing aborigine Neville wasn’t the artistic high point of his career.

In 2002, Gulipilil was nominated for an armful of awards for his part in 'Rabbit-Proof Fence’, starring Nicole Kidman, while he gained further plaudits in fellow Aussie efforts 'The Tracker’, 'The Proposition’ and Baz Luhrmann’s 'Australia’ in 2008, in which he played King George. Gulipilil has also made headlines for the wrong reasons: in an argument in 2006 he produced a machete (if only there was some sort of pop culture phrase he could have said) while in 2010 he was sentenced to a year in prison after breaking his wife’s arm with a broom. Gulpilil still acts, and recently won Best Actor in the Un Certain Regard category at the Cannes Film Festival for the film 'Charlie’s Country’. Reginald VelJohnson – Gus Who could forget Gus the limo driver? Hmm, don’t answer that. Maybe we would have forgotten him if it weren’t for the fact that he was played by VelJohnson, who would go on to play donut-loving police officer Carl in 'Die Hard’ just two years later.

'Die Hard 2’ was next on the agenda (he received fourth billing despite his cameo appearance) as was 'Turner & Hooch’, in which he was promoted to Captain.

Hogan is hilarious as the foreigner to the big city who must adapt to his new world. Oscar nominated for it's witty screenplay. One of the best films of the 1980's.

Thatcher was in 10, Downing Street, Reagan in The White House, 'Dallas' and 'Miami Vice' were the biggest programmes on television, and the film everyone was talking about was Paul Faiman's 'Crocodile Dundee'.

At my local Odeon the queue stretched right round the block. Nothing like it had been seen since 'Grease' ( 1978 ). Its star/writer/creator was Paul Hogan, who came to the attention of British television viewers when his Australian sketch show was bought by the fledgling Channel 4 network. On top of that, his Fosters lager adverts proved popular, particularly the one where he attends a ballet and does a double-take when a Nureyev-like dancer twirls onto the stage: "Strewth! Bloke's got no strides on!". As was the case with 'Monty Python & The Holy Grail', backing for 'Dundee' came from various sources, but the investments paid off. It was the second biggest money-maker in the U.S. that year ( the first being the awful 'Top Gun' ), beating out 'Platoon', 'Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home', and 'Aliens'. So what was it all about? Divorced journalist Sue Charlton ( Linda Koslowski ) travels to Australia to meet the survivor of a crocodile attack. In the outback, she finds eccentric crocodile poacher Michael J.

"Crocodile" Dundee ( Hogan ). After spending some time with him, and being impressed by his personality, she takes him back to New York. The first forty minutes are good fun, but when it moves to the Big Apple the film really gets into its comedic stride, as Mick struggles to come to terms with American culture. He washes his socks in the hotel bath, chats to a stranger in the street as though he is an old friend, and, when a mugger tries to rob him at knife point, whips out his blade, and grins: "That's a knife!", causing the terrified man to flee. Suddenly a new folk hero was born. America had 'Superman', Britain had 'James Bond', and Australia now had 'Crocodile Dundee'. Hogan was ruggedly good-looking, and quick-witted. Audiences the world over were charmed by his laid-back manner. Unfortunately, they never accepted the actor in any other role. He attributed the picture's success to the love story at its heart. I think Linda Koslowski has not had enough credit for her contribution to the film; not only is she sexy, but intelligent and funny ( and looks great in a thong! ).

The romance spilt over into real life for the stars. One person who could not have been pleased with the film's success was Barry Humphries, whose 1971 comedy 'The Adventures Of Barry McKenzie' ( starring Barry Crocker ) also concerned an Australian man let loose in a foreign country. The films are very different. 'Dundee' is heart warming and its characters warm and likable, 'McKenzie' on the other hand is raucous ( lots of vomiting and urinating ) and rude. I like both films for different reasons. Oscar nominated for Best Screenplay, Hogan attended the 1987 ceremony in his 'Dundee' clothes. Two years later, a sequel came out - 'Crocodile Dundee 2'. It did not do the big business of the first ( I thought personally it was superior ) but proved popular all the same. Alas Hogan waited until 2001 to make a third picture - 'Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles'. Audiences yawned. Twenty-five years later, the original film stands the test of time as a delightful, crowd-pleasing comedy. Was the above review useful to you?

4 out of 4 people found the following review useful: Outback Moutain 17 September 2009 *** This review may contain spoilers *** Well here's a turn up: a feel good movie that doesn't make you want to vomit. We all know the plot here: Paul Hogan plays Michael J. 'Crocodile' Dundee, resident of Walkabout Creek in Australia's Northern Territory, a man who lives off the land, prefers isolation and solitude to crowds and has never been to a city in his life. Linda Kozlowski plays Sue Charlton, a reporter from New Yoik writing a story about his exploits. When she decides to pay him a visit in The Outback she discovers a man so different to any other person she has met before she can't help but be captivated. She manages to persuade him to return with her to New Yoik, whereupon the classic 'fish out of water' comedy shenanigans ensues before, eventually, their love wins over out all. It's trite, true enough, but Hogan is so damn likable in the lead role nothing else really matters.

In truth this is a film where nothing really happens, the focus instead being on the lead man and his interaction with all that is around him, be it the familiar when on his home ground, or the utterly alien when in NYC. Kozlowski is a great sidekick, too, and their genuine chemistry illuminates the screen, a chemistry so potent that they ended up marrying in real life. Comedies are not normally my thing, but this is so unrelentingly charming and, crucially, actually funny that it's hard not to find it endearing. The score must have a special mention too, a haunting didgeridoo drone that really raises the hairs on the back of the neck. Warm, witty and a genuine classic, this is way better than its reputation may have you believe.

This was fresh and funnier than quite a few things I'd seen in a long time. To beat all, this was a film that not only had a very clean and unoffensive story, but it was formed out of an experience that Paul Hogan had when he was visiting New York City. This won Golden globe awards for both Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski. it was also awarded a Golden Screen Award. On top of that was nominated for an 'Oscar'. It did also win, for best music scoring, Peter Best. Peter Best, don't tell me this was the Beatle's first drummer? That Best??? I saw this when I was 18 and I remember being amazed at the complexity and yet simplistic view played out by Paul's character. Wow! I thought, this was really like a "Raiders of the Lost Ark ", in a different way. Similar in newness a great story event. Something that made you think and feel, just a little more than others stories. When films were just getting exciting. To me, this was shot intensely well, with talented direction and careful attention to the details, especially the character development.

It was new and very exciting to see and feel what all was brought to the screen, in Dolby sound. I realize that some people won't follow what I am saying completely, but as I have learned over the years, not all cinema is equal. I especially love it when He said, "Jesus Christ and all of them apostles were fishermen, if him and me were working here together, we'd be mates." This has the ability (I believe) to touch the heart, in an awesome underdog kind of way. My heart was in my throat at the subway scene and I was rooting for Dundee! I recommend this to buy and watch again when you feel like seeing it, and noticing how you can get something different out of it each time you see this. Smart original comedy, with the beautiful 'Outback" as scenery and even a great chick flick, on a dinner and movie date night.

It's a pretty simple fish-out-of-water plot, with Dundee (Paul Hogan, of course) doing an excellent job as a goodhearted, plainspoken, and cheerful Aussie in the Big City. Lots of great lines and funny moments, and the performances are all well done. Call me a sentimental fool, but the ending always makes me smile. Was the above review useful to you? 4 out of 5 people found the following review useful: Naivete from Virginia Beach 4 September 2010 Now it is acceptable to make films where the hero is just plain stupid. It is set up for us to like the guy, even celebrate him. Quite probably, this is a result of political advertisements that convince that intelligence is somehow a reason for mistrust. It is not new, I know, but the widespread acceptance of it is true. The dumber, the better. Before that, we have movies with less severity where the hero was just plain naive. He would be an intelligent, honest, even brave man but out of his element. There would be some jokes about this, but his good nature would see him through. These films go all way back.

This one came along after a drought of a few years it seems, so seemed new. Our guy is established as a rough and tumble fellow. He might be engaged in illegal work, or perhaps he is chasing off poachers. The choice is ours, but we know that he was adopted by "the blacks," and has some of their magic. He comes to the big city. The movie revolves around him winning the hearts of the New Yorkers, and getting the girl. The fold here is mildly interesting; the girl is a reporter, writing a story about him, and she basically falls in love with the story. But watching this now makes me embarrassed for a whole decade. This was actually nominated for an Oscar. The public liked it and screenwriters in the Academy thought the screen writing was so good it deserved recognition. It has two appealing set pieces. One sold the movie in the trailers. It is the deal where he is accosted by some street thugs who pull a knife. He pulls a bigger one and they run away. The other clever writing is the zinger at the end where New York working men relay messages of love across a crowded subway station.

On her affirmation, he literally walks on top of them to get to her, while the crowd (representing us as audience) cheers. Four seconds of embrace with rising music and the end. But in between is some tired, repellent stuff, even the joke about confusion over plumbing appliances. I think the girl here was writer-actor Hogan's real girlfriend. There is no other way such an unappealing actress would have been selected. She is ghastly. Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

There's really not enough story here to fill even its scant 97 minute runtime, but 'Crocodile Dundee' skates by on the genial charm of star Paul Hogan and the amazing legs of his beautiful co-star Linda Kozlowski. And even though it's 80s cheesy, it's got a GREAT ending.

I'll tell you who doesn't - terrorists and communists. I have seen this movie many times. Crocodile Dundee is a very enjoyable adventurous comedy. Mick Dundee, who is from the Australian outback and used to roughing it, has a knack with overpowering animals and fights crocodiles, goes up against illegal killings of kangaroos and eats snakes. When Sue Charlton arrives from New York city to do a story on Mick, the two hit it off right away and he saves her from a huge crocodile, however, Sue has a boyfriend back home which gets interesting when she brings Mick back to New York with her.

From Mick ending up sleeping on the floor because he wasn't used to the plush beds to going out in unfamiliar territory, Mick brings some of his wilderness charm to New York and makes new friends. His up and coming relationship with Sue is put to the test, but all's well that ends well. I loved Crocodile Dundee growing up and I'll continue to love it in the future. Paul Hogan does an amazing acting job as Mick and if you haven't seen this classic I suggest seeing it as soon as you can, it's simply a classic you do not want to miss out on. - Asif Zamir Was the above review useful to you? 2 out of 2 people found the following review useful: The ultimate fish out of water story.

5 January 2006 *** This review may contain spoilers *** This film is perhaps among the best "fish out of water" story ever produced.The idea looks good on paper,and the people in charge of bringing it to the big screen did a credible job.It's basically about two fish,each from different waters,trying to adjust to a whole new element.We begin with Sue Charleton(Linda Kozlowski),a New York reporter tracking down the "infamous" Michael J."Crocodile" Dundee(Paul Hogan)in the Austrailian outback,and while there,she learns what life is like in his world,then the roles are reversed.The results are comical,with the exception of Sue's near disaster with a hungry crocodile,which was indeed a tense moment.While this film is worthy of anyone's viewing time,the sequels should be avoided at all costs,for they only serve to prove that if a fish stays out of water too long, well,it dies a horrible death.A film that was truly a blessing for Paul Hogan,can also could be considered a curse,for it caused him to suffer from one of the worst cases of typecasting in cinema history.He is so closely associated with the character that he just isn't taken seriously

 in any other role.What a shame.

I'm sure it's not an accurate depiction of Australia or Australians; but, then, the New Yorkers were caricatures just as much as the Aussies. Paul Hogan is funny and likable as the easygoing Mick Dundee. He brings the same charm he displayed in the Australian tourism ads ("Put another shrimp on the barby!"). He's not the deepest actor in the world, but he brings a sense of fun. Linda Kozlowski is fairly low key, but she does have chemistry with Hogan (not surprising as they ended up as a real couple). She doesn't show great range, but she handles herself well enough. The film is a bit cliched with the "fish out of water" story, but Hogan brings enough charm to forgive that and the jokes work. There's a good supporting cast on both sides of the world, which helps out a great deal.

Although I enjoyed the film, the funniest things I heard in the theater came from the audience. One came from a woman seated behind me. When Linda Kozlowski first arrives and is picked up from the helicopter, she gets in the left side of the vehicle. The woman behind me asked, "Why is she driving?", oblivious to the fact that Australians drive on the opposite side of the road. The other came from a friend of mine. When spotting Kozlowksi's bathing suit (with the deeply plunging back) he uttered, "Hey, she's got that suit on backwards!" Every time I see the film and those scenes, those lines come back to me.

Page 2 of 10: Movie Review - - Paul Hogan Is Back to His Tricks - NYTimes.com Paul Hogan Is Back to His Tricks By JANET MASLIN Published: May 25, 1988 LEAD: The screen success of Mick (Crocodile) Dundee is based, quite literally, on nothing. Nothing is the thing that Dundee, in the disarming person of the Australian star Paul Hogan, does best. Mr.

Hogan's calm, unflappable reactions to the various facts of New York City life were the comic foundation of ''Crocodile Dundee,'' turning its mild, genial humor into box-office gold. The screen success of Mick (Crocodile) Dundee is based, quite literally, on nothing. Nothing is the thing that Dundee, in the disarming person of the Australian star Paul Hogan, does best. Mr. Hogan's calm, unflappable reactions to the various facts of New York City life were the comic foundation of ''Crocodile Dundee,'' turning its mild, genial humor into box-office gold. It would be natural to expect more of the same from ''Crocodile Dundee II,'' but the sequel often lacks the sense to leave well enough alone. ''Crocodile Dundee II,'' which opens today at Loews Astor Plaza and other theaters, is noticeably longer than the first film, and it's less enjoyably lazy. This time, stranded in New York, Dundee has begun to grow restless, and the film itself shows a comparable malaise. This is apparent right away, in the scene that shows Dundee up to his old outdoorsman's tricks, dynamiting fish in the middle of New York Harbor.

The police arrive, and when they recognize Dundee they shake their heads with rueful admiration, as do a group of children in a playground scene moments later. It's a danger sign when a character is allowed to grow lovable in this way. The plot - and that's the main trouble with ''Crocodile Dundee II''; it has one - soon involves Dundee with a Colombian drug kingpin. This mastermind, named Rico (Hechter Ubarry), has kidnapped Sue (Linda Kozlowski), the stylish Newsday reporter with whom Dundee has now moved in. So the screenplay, by Mr. Hogan and his son Brett, must trump up a reason for the abduction, let Mick Dundee do a lot of worrying as proof of how much he loves Sue, and otherwise create too much unremarkable action and too much of an actor's role for Mr. Hogan, whose great gift is for offhand humor. Only late in the film, when he has returned to Australia and begun playing practical jokes involving bats and alligators, does Dundee have much chance to shine. The film's first hour, the one set in New York, also has quite a touristy tone.

There are urban caricatures for Dundee to marvel at, street scenes that would warm the heart of any travel agent, a tour of Bloomingdale's (where Dundee has a brief chance to use his woodsman's skills), and even an official tour guide showing off ''the legendary New York City subway.'' Natives will find these touches at least as peculiar as they are picturesque. Every so often, Mr. Hogan is given a chance to show off Dundee's unique gift for inaction, as when he copes with a stranger's suicide attempt by feigning absolute indifference to the man's problems and suggesting that he hurry up. These episodes are very welcome, since Mr. Hogan remains a likable fellow under any circumstances, even when John Cornell's direction is so slow it takes the snap out of the actor's comic timing. But too often, Mr. Hogan's amusing moments give way to the tedious, overacted exploits of the drug kingpin and his henchmen, who have their headquarters in a suburban mansion and who smirk endlessly about their ill-gotten gains. The kingpin remains a large part of the story even after Dundee and Sue have fled to Australia for a change of scene.

''Crocodile Dundee II'' has been attractively photographed, if unremarkably directed, and it aims for affable, low-key escapism just as the first film did. But the earlier one had novelty to keep it going, and this time the novelty has begun to wear thin, even if Mr. Hogan remains generally irresistible. This time, he is so much more charming than anything else on the screen that no one in the cast (even Miss Kozlowski, who never brings much wit or glamour to her role) is a match for him. A man who's capable of leaving a three-foot, bandanna-wearing lizard as his calling card requires a less contrived, better designed vehicle for his talents. ''Crocodile Dundee II'' is rated PG (''Parental Guidance Suggested''). It contains some strong language.

The first is a scene from Crocodile Dundee, in which the actress can be seen in a thong bikini.

The movie centers an American reporter traveling to the Australian outback to meet a crocodile hunter. He survived a crocodile attach and she is curious to learn more about how did he do that. In exchange for the information, he invites him in New York, where he is very intrigued of the fact that the city is extremely different from his usual environment. Although the movie is a comedy, all eyes were on the scene where Linda Kozlowski takes her clothes off! The second video which brought Linda Kozlowski in the public eye is one from Favorite Son, where once again, she remains without clothing and she looks very provocative as she ties herself to the bed. This is a mini-serial with a political subject about the candidates for Vice-Presidency.
